Why is it the same muscle keeps cramping.

Dave_19 · Sep 20, 2006

I have to say now for the past 10 days or so both of my front delt's (that general area) get this huge cramp where they lock up almost. It happens every single day now for the past 10 days, and some days 20-30 times in the whole day. It mainly seems to happen in the gym though. I figured if it were due to being low in some sort of nutrient, or dehydration, lack of carbs, ect.. that it wouldn't happen EVERY day. I have made effort to eat more fruit, carbs, take in magnesuium, calcium, potassium, and L-taurine powder. I would have thought for sure one of those things would cure this problem but it hasn't. Any ideas on whats cuasing this?

i may be way way way off the mark , but read the section in this link under dystonia. Some symptoms sound like what you're describing.

Man, I know exactly what you are talking about. I get the same thing and in other places too. I went to the doctor and they checked my blood(not for hormone levels) for salts concentration. Came back fine. The only thing I can atribute to is over working out, low body fat, and spot injection reaction. The reason I say injection reaction is because I recently injected both delts. And today doing military press both delts cramped up hard. i barely got through my workout. I actually got a script for muscle relaxer but it doesen't help.
Not that this helps, but i do know the experience.

Maybe frozen shoulder syndrome. Do you do any rotator cuff exercises?

cramps

are you taking the lasix we talked about to help with the bloodpressure issue. b/c lasix are not potassium sparing. and inturn if the body does not have enough then cramping will be a major issue.
